Multivariable regression analyses were performed to investigate the longitudinal relationships between zBMIT2 (as the outcome) and change in diet quality between T1 and T2 (DQIT2-T1, categorical variable), adjusting for zBMIT1, DQIT1, child’s age and gender (Model 1). In Model 2, we also controlled for child’s MVPA, accelerometer wearing time, screen time and maternal education (all measured at T1). Both models accounted for clustering by suburb.
